exudation |
|
Anatomically distinct and producing and exuding a particular substance. |
|
nectariferous |
|
exudation |
|
Producing and secreting nectar; when glands are nectariferous, they are usually indicated nominatively as nectaries. |
|
oil-secreting |
|
exudation |

exudation |
|
Secreting a digestive exoenzyme; in carnivorous plants. |
|
laticiferous |
|
exudation |
|
Producing and exuding latex. |
|
salt-excreting |
|
exudation |
|
Accumulating salt and discharging it directly to the exterior in a concentrated aqueous solution, the salt then crystallizing on the exterior following evaporation of the fluid medium; when salt-excreting glands are indicated in the nominative, usually they are called simply salt glands. |

The opening in the wall of a sporangium, between the lip cells, through which the spores exit; in Psilotophyta, Lycopodiophyta, Equisetophyta, Polypodiophyta. |
|
bundle scar |

A smaller scar within the bounds of a leaf scar at the point where a vascular bundle traversed the abscission layer between stem and leaf. |
|
suture |
|
FEATURE |
|
An evident line of ontogenetic union. |
|
emargination |
= notch |
FEATURE |
|
A relatively small, acute sinus at the distal end of a laminar structure. |

A small, rounded depression. |
|
stomium pl. stomia |
= stomatal pore |
FEATURE |
|
The opening in the wall of a sporangium, between the lip cells, through which the spores exit; in Psilotophyta, Lycopodiophyta, Equisetophyta, Polypodiophyta. |
|
fissure |
|
FEATURE |
|
A relatively narrow, split or crack in the outer tissue(s) of a structure. |
|
collar 2 |
|
FEATURE |
|
The junction between the sheath and blade of a leaf; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae). |
|
lumen pl. lumina |
|
FEATURE |
|
A space enclosed by the wall(s) or membrane(s) of a structure. |
|
scrobis pl. scrobes |
= fovea, pit |
FEATURE |
|
A small, rounded depression. |
|
rank |
|
FEATURE |
|
A sequence of lateral structures arising from the same axis at successive points along its length and diverging from it in the same direction. |
|
micropyle |
|
FEATURE |
|
The small pore in the integuments of an ovule at its apex, through which the pollen tube grows; or the corresponding aperture or scar in the coat of the seed that develops subsequently. |
|
ridge |
|
FEATURE |
|
A very narrow, elongate, relatively low protrusion; esp. on fruits in Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). |
|
sulcus pl. sulci |
= colpus, fossula, furrow, groove, vallecula |
FEATURE |
|
An elongate depression that is relatively shallow and narrow. |
|
axil |
|
FEATURE |
|
The space bounded by and near the vertex of the distal angle between a lateral structure, especially a leaf, and the axis that bears it. |
|
sinus pl. sinus, sinuses |
|
FEATURE |
|
The space, indentation, or invagination (or, for some descriptive purposes, the outline thereof) between and delimiting any two consecutive or adjacent lobes or teeth of a structure. |
